Joe's Pub at The Public Theater (Director, Shanta Thake; General Manager, Kevin Abbott) debuted in October of 1998 as a performance space dedicated to presenting artists across a variety of genres, and was founded on the principle of showcasing affordable, accessible, and quality entertainment to the people of New York. The intimate space quickly became one of New York's most in demand venues for music, theater, cabaret, dance, and comedy, presenting artists from over 90 countries.  The Village Voice voted Joe's Pub the "Best Excuse to Let a Single Venue Dictate Your Taste".  Newsweek calls the club "one of the country's best small stages" and New York Magazine raves "you never know what you'll find next at Joe's Pub, but you can count on the fact that it will be good, very good."
